We've got mail part 2

In yet another sign that we have moved to a place we love and are happy to stay here for a long time, we got a PO Box this weekend!  Now, you can mail us things directly to Costa Rica.  Amazon should work to mail directly to the PO Box and they will include an estimate of the taxes and customs duties that might be charged.  So you would be paying the shipping as well as the charges that Costa Rica has to ship things here.  If you ship internationally through the US Post Office, they won't include the taxes and customs, so we would pay that part here ourselves.  I have no idea how much shipping will be for you guys, so we can give it a try and see what works and what doesn't.  It's exciting to have mail.  Here's our address:

Melody Lee Maradiaga
Apartado 46-4100
Grecia
Alajuela, Costa Rica
20301

It was so fun having Mom visit this weekend and to get to show her the new place we live.  I think she was impressed!

Bella also loves the new place.  This morning she sat outside in the sun on the patio for awhile, by herself.  This is huge as Bella used to HATE being outside alone.  But today she didn't want to come inside!  She was just chilling out, checking out the amazing view and soaking in the sunshine.  :)  I don't blame her - it's a great place to be!!!
